Let me pose a few questions to you.
1. If the Realtor or Real Estate Company you choose is a choice made on them selling the most, being busier and having higher production than any other Realtor/Company....do you think there is a hazard that your home could be listed under fair market value to keep their stats on top?
2. If the Realtor listing your home consistently runs a bigger picture of themselves than of your home, do you think they are trying to sell your home or sell other people on picking them for their next real estate transaction?
3. If you have already heard from other professionals that your desired price is too high, but some other Realtor comes along and puts stars in your eyes that they can achieve the impossible...do you think they might just want to use your listing to get phone calls from other buyers and sellers, without any motivation to really sell your inflated priced home?
If your pick of Realtor is more about a sales pitch than about genuine, professional advice you might want to look around. There are many great Realtors out there that treat their profession as a service industry and will not cloud the issue of your purchase or your sale with their ulterior motives.
A great Realtor makes your home sale all about you, or your home buying all about you. However, as I tell my clients, "in two years time when you see me at the grocery store, I want you to be happy to see me, I don't want you ready to launch a dozen oranges at me because I let you make a stupid move."
"Not on my watch" might be the mantra of a true blue Realtor. They won't let you buy an overpriced or faulty home. They won't let you undersell your home. They will let you go before they let you down or fill your head with pipe dreams that will ultimately lead to huge disappointment.
You owe it to yourself to spend time interviewing a few different Realtors from different offices to know who will bring you the most VALUE. And, the most VALUE is not (and often isn't) the cheapest to use.
Be careful out there! Your home sale or purchase is likely the biggest part of your net worth. Take your time and find the right Realtor to do the job superbly.
